Indoor Air Quality Services

Indoor air quality is a measure of how the air inside a home is impacting its resident’s health and comfort. An ideal air quality reading should indicate low humidity levels, fresh ventilated air and low levels of pollutants. Common sources of indoor air quality problems can include:

• Inadequate temperature, humidity or lighting
• High levels of chemicals, dusts, molds, fungi, bacteria, gases and other contaminants in the air
• Insufficient outdoor air intake
• Dampness and moisture damage
• Poor upkeep of heating and cooling systems

How often you should replace your air filter depends on the type of filter you have and your home’s unique characteristics. Here are a few general guidelines you can follow:

• Primary residence with more than one pet or person who has allergies: Replace every 20 - 45 days
• Primary residence with one pet: Replace every 60 days
• Primary residence with no pets: Replace every 90 days
• Vacation home: Replace every 6 - 12 months

Some measures you can take to clean your indoor air include:

• Let fresh air in - We tend to want to seal up our homes tight so our temperature controlled air can’t escape. Unfortunately, that means pollutants and other undesirables in your air are sealed in too. You should try to regularly open up the windows in your home to help ventilate the space.
• Minimize VOCs - VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, are found in things like cleaning supplies and other household items. Limiting these products can limit the pollutants in your home air, especially VOCs in spray form.
• Tidy often - You can help control the dust and allergen levels in your home by frequently cleaning, vacuuming and dusting, as well as keeping clutter to a minimum.
• Air purification - You may want to consider investing in an air purification system. Chrome Heating Air & Plumbing can help you determine which purification system would best fit your unique needs.
